Tonight Alive - The Edge

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRDVXnACx7Y You said you'd stay, I said I'd wait All those words we spoke in vain I still recall the bitter taste I guess some things never change And then I think of yesterday And every promise that you made I never thought I'd be The one that you would break But I will fight until the day the world stops turning And they will fall to ashes, I will just keep burning But tonight I need you to save me I'm too close to breaking, I see the light I am standing on the edge of my life Standing on the edge of my life Standing on the edge This is how it all turns out You're the hero, I'm left out I should've known you couldn't stand Up for me and be a man I still have dreams of you at night I can't tell the dark from light I never thought I'd be The one you'd leave behind But I will fight until the day the world stops turning And they will fall to ashes, I will just keep burning But tonight I need you to save me I'm too close to breaking, I see the light I am standing on the edge of my life With each step I hold my breath And I'm tangled in your spiderwebs I call out but I fall And I wonder if you ever cared at all But I will fight until the day the world stops turning And they will fall to ashes, I will just keep burning But tonight I need you to save me I'm too close to breaking, I see the light I am standing on the edge of my life Standing on the edge of my life Standing on the edge of my life I am standing on the edge of my life

Laura Marling - A Hard Rains Agonna Fall - cover of Bob Dylan

https://pitchfork.com/news/laura-marling-covers-bob-dylans-a-hard-rains-a-gonna-fall-listen/ Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son? And where have you been my darling young one? I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall Oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son? And what did you see, my darling young one? I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin' I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin' I saw a white ladder all covered with water I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder that roared out a warnin' I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin' I heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin' I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin' Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall Oh, what did you meet my blue-eyed son ? Who did you meet, my darling young one? I met a young child beside a dead pony I met a white man who walked a black dog I met a young woman whose body was burning I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow I met one man who was wounded in love I met another man who was wounded in hatred And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son? And what'll you do now my darling young one? I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin' I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest Where the people are a many and their hands are all empty Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison And the executioner's face is always well hidden Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten Where black is the color, where none is the number And I'll tell and speak it and think it and breathe it And reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin' But I'll know my song well before I start singing And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Mumford & Sons - Little Lion Man

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7bHe--mp1g Weep for yourself, my man, You'll never be what is in your heart Weep little lion man, You're not as brave as you were at the start Rate yourself and rake yourself, Take all the courage you have left Wasted on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really fucked it up this time Didn't I, my dear? Didn't I, my dear? Tremble for yourself, my man, You know that you have seen this all before Tremble little lion man, You'll never settle any of your scores Your grace is wasted in your face, Your boldness stands alone among the wreck Now learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really fucked it up this time Didn't I, my dear? But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really fucked it up this time Didn't I, my dear? Didn't I, my dear? But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really fucked it up this time Didn't I, my dear? But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really fucked it up this time Didn't I, my dear? Didn't I, my dear?
